Disney’s Hollywood Studios to Close at 6 p.m. on June 18 for Private Buyout

A corporate buyout by HR group SHRM will turn the park into a conference after‑hours event.

Overview

The official Walt Disney World calendar lists a 9 a.m. opening and a 6 p.m. early close for Hollywood Studios that day.
The early closure clears the park for SHRM26 After Hours, a private event booked by the Society for Human Resource Management.
SHRM’s listing sets event hours from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. with included food, drinks, fireworks, and access to rides.
Reporting ties the change to the SHRM buyout after online chatter linked it to a Toy Story 5 party.
Day guests could see slightly shorter waits, a pattern seen when Disney trims public hours for special parties.
